      Огро́мный, кру́глый, мѐдно-кра́сный ме́сяц гляде́л пря́мо в о́кна. «Э́то от ме́сяца така́я тишина́, — поду́мал Раско́льников, — он, ве́рно, тепе́рь зага́дку зага́дывает».
      Ogrómnyj, krúglyj, mèdno-krásnyj mésjac gljadél prjámo v ókna. «Éto ot mésjaca takája tišiná, — podúmal Raskólʹnikov, — on, vérno, tepérʹ zagádku zagádyvajet».
